The furnishings are excellent quality, and the house was warm. Ian and Jan were very helpful with information However, we were very disappointed with the cleanliness, despite being assured the owners that they visited less than 2 months ago, in particular the shower room was very dirty, accumulated over far longer than a couple of months. I could write more, We will not be staying again and sadly cannot recommend â¦.which is sad, because it could be fabulous
